Arts Council Northeast hosts the fifth-annual Triple Crown Affair at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie on Saturday, May 7, in the Alysheba Ballroom, where guests can watch the live races from the terrace. We’ll celebrate the heritage, traditions, and style of the Kentucky Derby with Southern hospitality and a party mentality from 2:00 until 6:00 p.m. – it will be a day you won’t soon forget!  There is still time to buy your tickets online through Thursday, May 5 - get yours today!  

Join us to watch “The Run for the Roses” on big-screen televisions and live racing all day on the Lone Star Park track. Pick your horses, place your bets, and cheer on your favorites while enjoying a lavish buffet and and complimentary beer and wine (don’t forget your Mint Julep!). Wear your finest Derby hat, because prizes will be awarded to those who do it best.

A silent auction will offer the chance to bid on a fabulous array of items, including pairs of Manolo's and Christian Louboutin's heels. The live auction will be an exciting culmination to the day, featuring one-of-a-kind trips and tempting luxuries.
